Describe what a planetesimal is. Is it related to a protoplanet?

Physics

zheka24 [161]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A planetesimal is an object formed from dust, rock, and other materials. The word has its roots in the concept infinitesimal, which indicates an object too small to see or measure. Planetesimals can be anywhere in size from several meters to hundreds of kilometers.

Protoplanets are thought to form out of kilometer-sized planetesimals that gravitationally perturb each other's orbits and collide, gradually coalescing into the dominant planets.

Name the four major forces in the universe that act over long distance as I greater than the nucleus of an atom?
GalinKa [24]
Forces in the universe that act over long distance, meaning the distance is greater than the diameter of the nucleus of the atom are:

1. Electrostatic force or Coulomb force: Fc=(k*Q₁*Q₂)/r²,

2. Gravitational force: Fg=(G*m₁*m₂)/r²,

3. Magnetic force: Fm=qvB,

4. London dispersion force, also known as one of the van der Waals forces.

Static charges can be applied to neutral objects by friction, induction or conduction. What do all of these methods utilize to c
Oksana_A [137]
The s<span>tatic charges that are applied to neutral objects by friction, induction or conduction main utilise the creation of electrons or electric charges. Electrons flow forming a current into a specific medium known as a conductor which is mainly due to a significant potential difference between two points.</span>

"How did your current and voltage measurements differ between the series and parallel circuits you created
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Series circuit:

The voltage that is measured across the circuit is different.

The current measured in a series circuit remains the same at all points in the circuit.

Parallel circuit:

The current measured across each resistor varies

The voltage measured across a parallel circuit will remain the same

Explanation:

Series and parallel circuits behave differently when it comes to the circulation of current and the interaction with a potential difference.

In a series circuit, the resistances are connected end to end. As a result, the voltage that is measured across the circuit is different once resistance is encountered. However, the current measured in a series circuit remains the same at all points in the circuit.

A parallel circuit behaves in an exactly opposite manner to the series circuit. In a parallel circuit, the resistances are connected side by side. As a result of this, the current measured across each resistor varies as there are circuit branches through which electric current can flow into. On the other hand, the voltage measured across a parallel circuit will remain the same

200 kW of solar radiation is shining on a 300 m^2 parking lot. What is the insulation on the parking lot?
ale4655 [162]

That's "<em><u>insolation</u></em>" ... not "insulation".

'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.

If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is

           (200 kW) / (300 m²) = <em>(666 and 2/3) watt/m²</em> .

Note that this is the intensity of the <em><u>incident</u></em> radiation.  It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.

Wait ! 
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all.  I have no idea what  "1 sun"  means.  Forgive me.  I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.

Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.

           1 sun = 1 kW/m².

So 2/3 of a kW per m²  =  2/3 of 1 sun

That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.

I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.
